*** VRP Bullet Trans *** - Page 3

The trans works fine.. we didnt get a chance to take it to the strip because the customer who owns the car kept wanting more work done so the car has been in Houston for a while.

This car also received the ported S/C... Unfortunately the hurricane that hit Houston has also put a damper on the plans and stalled alot of work because most businesses are still without power.

Once the car is finished and is able to go to the track we will report back on everything that was done.

I am not sure if this question was already asked on the forum, but I'll take my chances.
Since the 7G is beefed up, would it fit an E55k?
SLK55 has the 7G tranny, which is essentially a M113 motor. I know it is not the kompressor version but I don;t think that matters much in this case.

I jut like the gearing better on the 7G, that's the reason I am asking.
Thanks.

Will this beefed up transmission meaningfully cut down the 60 foot times assuming traction is not an issue?

The old 5-speed transmission is stronger than the new 7-speed, that is why its still used on all V12 bi-turbo's...

vrus said they have a beefed up 722.9 (7G-tronic). So, it should be able to take that much torque. Originally it was rated at a max of 517lbft of torque, that's as much as an E55k puts out. If it would be stronger than OEM then I wouldn't worry about which one is stronger since I won't have 1000 ftlb of torque out of that engine.
The gears are much better in the 7G compared to the 5 spd one.

You want a better 60' look into a torque converter

Ashkan's C43 · 08-23-2009, 09:37 PM

What happened with this upgrade?

c43padre · 10-01-2009, 06:58 PM

My car is a daily driver so I was wondering what the stall speed feels like in stop and go, rush hour traffic, etc.?

Ali_E55 · 10-02-2009, 07:13 AM

some guys in UAE tuned their 55s up to 600rwhp and the tranny is handling it. and they drive ot daily >< sooo hard.

some engine problems due to heat but no gear problems

I still haven't seen anything in here from people that have the mod, and what would a package price before for the diff and all the other goodies to make it totally bullet proof?
